Browns meet with Russell Wilson amid Shedeur Sanders rumors
Days after making a trade to bring in a quarterback to compete for the starting job, Cleveland met with free agent and former Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson. Wilson suited up in 11 games for Pittsburgh a season ago, earning his 10th Pro Bowl bid.
Despite a lengthy meeting, Cleveland has yet to extend a contract offer to Wilson, coming off a trade for Kenny Pickett. The front office shipped backup quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson and a fifth-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for the former first-round signal-caller.
Pickett appeared in five games for the Eagles last season after Pittsburgh moved him following two seasons. In 25 games in Pittsburgh, Pickett completed 62.6% of his passes for 4,474 yards, 13 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
Entering his fourth year in the NFL, Pickett will be suiting up for his third team. He will likely have an opportunity to battle for the starting job, depending on who else Cleveland adds to a depleted quarterback room.
